Working with the most at-risk adolescents and established on an innovative model integrating excellent academics with evidence-based, trauma-informed practices, We are a weekday boarding school that opened in the 2015-2016 school year with a 5th grade class of 40 students and will have 160 students when we reach full enrollment through 8th grade in 2018/19. The school is currently authorized to expand to 8th grade and maintains the goal of growing through high school so that students will graduate from the academy.

Our mission is to provide students, particularly those who have had or might have contact with the foster care system, with the requisite academic, social, emotional, and life skills to be successful in college, career, and community, and to create an outstanding school that attracts, supports, and retains exceptional and caring people. We will fulfill its mission by providing stability, adult connection, high-quality academics, therapeutic support, and life skills for pre-teens and teens. Monument Academy graduates will be prepared for post-secondary education, on a career trajectory, and have the social, emotional, and self-care skills to maintain a healthy, connected, and economically self-supporting life.

As a member of the Student Life Faculty, Houseparent pairs will play an integral role in shaping the lives of the students at Monument Academy.  Houseparents at Monument Academy work in pairs (either two individuals or a married couple) that reside on property in a family-style apartment and provide direct care to 8-12 single-gender students Sunday evening-Friday morning.  Houseparents have Friday late morning until Sunday afternoon off. They also have school holidays off. They are expected to participate fully in professional development days. Houseparents’ living quarters are two private bedrooms with a private bath abutting the family space.

It is imperative that Houseparents build strong family-like relationships that begin with taking a genuine interest in every student and his or her unique story.  Families will set goals together, celebrate successes together, learn new skills together, and overcome challenges together.  The Houseparents guide this process and are responsible for establishing and maintaining a positive culture at all times.

The Student Life team is responsible for designing lessons and activities aligned with Monument Academy’s life skills curriculum, scheduling and planning for celebrations and recreational family activities, as well as participating fully in the conversations around student progress and the development and review of students’ personalized learning plans.

Houseparents’ primary responsibilities are when students are in their care from 3:45 pm until 9 am.  They have flexible time when the students are in school, although from time to time they may be required to participate in professional development or meetings regarding student progress as needed during the day. Houseparents will report to the Director of Student Life.    

It is recommended that for houseparent couples with children that they have no more than 2 small children or 1 older child (10+)  of their own residing with them on campus.  Whether couples or individuals, everyone should each submit separate applications and, if married, note in the cover letter your spouse’s name and your intent to seek employment together as Houseparents at Monument Academy.
